our philosophy
At NBN we pride ourselves in teaching the game through the use of 3 principles: HOW, WHY, & WHEN. We teach the game of basketball through the use of drills and techniques that not only challenge the player's skill set, but also improve their basketball IQ.
HOW
We don't just put our players through a workout and send them home. We give specific detailed instruction on HOW skills should be performed. This specific information helps build the players confidence in being able to perform the skill at a much higher level.
WHY
Long gone are the days of do what I say because I said so. Players want to know WHY they are doing a particular drill or WHY they should execute a particular skill a certain way. At NBN we give our players the WHY. This gives them an understanding of knowing that there is a reason for everything that we do during our training sessions. We don't just drill for the sake of drilling. We want the players to know WHY or the meaning and purpose behind everything we do.
WHEN
It's not just enough to know HOW to execute a skill or know WHY. Players must also know WHEN they should execute a move, cut, screen or any other action. At NBN we want players making the right read and the correct decision. You must know WHEN to make the rear cut vs the front cut. Or WHEN a behind the back dribble is more effective vs a crossover dribble. These tips can take a player's game to another level and give them the knowledge to separate their skills from other players.
